Police say Dukes entered his daughter's classroom Wednesday claiming his daughter was being harassed, lifted up his jacket and some students say they saw a gun.

But Dukes' lawyer said there was no gun, that Dukes went through a metal detector and signed in at the school office.

"This doesn't make any sense judge, the concept of having a weapon. He went through a metal detector, checked in with the office, showed an ID and was escorted up to the room. He categorically denies there was a gun involved. He doesn't even own a gun," said Defense Lawyer Stephen Madden.

A school spokesperson also said there was no gun and that Dukes went through the normal security screening, created a scene in a classroom and was escorted out but tried to come back into the school and was arrested.

The prosecution said that even without a gun, it was still serious.

A judge set bond at $5,000 and ordered Dukes to stay away from the school.
